This brochure is dated 1969 and some of the variants weren’t in production yet, although the 10” are already available. I’d imagine that would be pretty close to the start for the mini wheels

There’s an example on this set on eBay. The number in the centre will be the year, and I’m guessing they add an extra mark around the diameter for each month
